Both directions, one price
The Milestone to London City Airport or the reverse — the fixed fare from £50 holds either way.
The Milestone to London City Airport · Hotel route
A fixed-price chauffeur between The Milestone Hotel & Residences and London City Airport — 11 miles, typically 30–40 min, in either direction. Booked in advance, met in person, flight tracked on the way in.

How it works
Travelling to The Milestone, your driver meets you in arrivals at London City Airport with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: kensington Court is a quiet turning off the High Street; cars wait at the hotel’s corner entrance, palace-side, away from the bus lanes.
The Milestone to London City Airport or the reverse — the fixed fare from £50 holds either way.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
A named chauffeur with your board at London City Airport, and a car at the door at The Milestone — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Between the The Milestone lobby and the terminal, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
